Now I know I've never done a "You Really Suck When" blog before but man there has just been too much crap happening to people that is just too funny not to inform people. So here we go.
FAITH "DEREK ZOOLANDER" HILL
Now I don't watch or listen to country music. I also didn't watch the Country Music Awards but Faith Hill had the best performance that night. Funny thing is, it wasn't because she sang or did a skit, it was because of her reaction after she lost Best Female (i think that's what it was, I wasn't paying attention) to Carrie Underwood. If you don't know who Carrie Underwood is, she won American Idol a couple of seasons ago. Basically, when the split screen of all the nominees is shown and the winner is announced, Faith throws her hands up and shouts "WHAT!" (she has no sound but you can read her lips). I orginally thought she threw her hands up and said "I WON!" but I was wrong. When you watch it you could understand why I thought that. Anywho, after all that, the camera pans to Carrie's portion of the screen. Now when she gets onto the stage, there's Ms. Hill. What she was planning on doing I have no idea. But here view it for yourself and look at a stupid woman doing something stupid.
BRITNEY'S ANNOUNCEMENT OF DIVORCING KEVIN FEDERLINE A LA TEXT MESSAGE AND CAUGHT ON TAPE.
Yes, I know, "Longest Heading Ever!" But that's besides the point. In case you haven't heard yet, Britney Spears got her redneck head out of her ass, and is filing for divorce to her douche bag husband Kevin Federline. You might be saying "Who's Kevin Federline?" Basically he hasn't done anything to be famous and he's a wannabe rapper that fathered her babies. His cd went no where dispite being seen everywhere and on everything, A couple of examples: CSI as a punk dirtbag who was a ringleader for a bunch of other dirtbag punk kids who beat up tourists. He gets a nice sucker punch to the stomach and goes to jail. That went well, two things that most people wish to have done him in real life. Another appearance was on WWE wrestling. I don't really understand what he was doing on this but at some point he makes it to the ring and, while being boo'd, asks the audience if they want to hear him rap. This leads to more booing. He starts to sing anyway, only to be interupted by the champion John Cena (who is also a wannabe rapper). John tells him that he sucks and continues to knock him down a few notches only to finish him off with his finishing move. Anywho. I'm really off topic but I just wanted to give you an idea of how this guy licks balls. Back to why we're here. In the video below, Kevin Federline just so happens to be at MuchMusic doing some more promo crap and it's at this time he receives some upsetting news via text message. Man that's harsh. Enjoy!!

So You Think You Can Dance - Sault Ste. Marie Auditions
Well, Ky was going to make a post out of this, but i'm going to beat him to it, because it really needs to be posted. Thursday night a few groups of people were going to the Canadian. Kyle and I were pretty iffy because Ky had just worked 12 hours and it was a friggen snow storm outside, but we decided to go - which was one of the best decisions we've made in a long time. Upon our arrival someone neglected to tell us that there were apparently auditions for So You Think You Can Dance. Now for those of you who have ever watched the auditions portions of SYTYCD or American Idol, there are some people who are very talented and amazing.... you also know damn well that there are far too many people on this planet who think they are good at their "talent", but the truth is far from their little delusion.
Our first dancer of the evening we deemed as the "Loner" or "Lone-Dancer" (i know, we are pretty original). There she is out on the dancefloor all by herself, dancing in a not-so-hot fashion, but she almost had rhythm - note i said almost. Mind you, she was very unoriginal as there is always a lone dancer at some point in the evening.
Our next contestant was this 12 year old-looking kid. To paint you a picture, he looked reminiscent of a 5 foot 4 Macaulay Culkin (in his younger years), wearing a white button-up dress shirt, with the collar flipped up - which i think was mandatory. His dancing style? Well, if you mixed John Travolta Saturday Night Fever, Napoleon Dynamite doing his "skit" for Pedro's election speech, and Richard Simmons, you basically got this guy. His awkward movements mixed with his boyish charm seemed to attract much attention from some unfortunate ladies.
Sooner than we expected the "Loner" returned for a duet - her new partner? "Spazzy McGee". Was my particular favourite of the evening, simply because her style of dance was so intricate and complex that i (as a dancer) couldnt fathom how she could be dancing in this manner and still be standing. We came to the conclusion that she was on some drug - speed was our preference - because any normal person could not possibly make these movements AND not get tired. Basically she often looked as though her entire body was going into a dry heave mixed with a bad case of Touret's syndrome. I'm surprised she neither injured herself nor anyone else that evening. She also attempted to do "sexy" moves, such as a snake-like-swim thing, and a really sweet double-hip-rub which Amit pointed out to us.
We also came upon the white-boy brigade, which our Macaulay Culkin look-alike seemed to belonged too. The group was compiled of the whitest of white boys who are the reason white dancers have such a bad name. The "leader" was some tall drink of water who wore his really hot Chips inspired sunglasses all evening. From the White-boy Brigade the only real move they had was the Whitey-shuffle (if you do not know what the whitey shuffle is, please attend a wedding with Kyle and his dad and hopefully his brother - as they will all do some form of a whitey-shuffle through the course of the evening).
Our last contestant - "Green Jacket". Now "Green Jacket" seemed to LOVE the floor - he never sat on it, or laid down on it (which was a good thing) but he seemed to like to give it a high-five alot. His love affair with the floor seemed to have him torn as to dance standing or dance squatting, so he seemed to be caught in some sort of dance-plane limbo. Many other dance-hopefuls gathered on the dancefloor, but these few stood out among the crowd.
Some other almost memorables include: Vanilla Muffin-Top (with Bulls-eye), some guy who REALLY liked to take his shirt off, an older lady in a really bad red dress, and a K-Fed knock-off. So as it seemed the horrible weather drew out most of the worst dancer the Soo has to offer. Their shame became our fun (which i suppose is kinda mean and twisted on our behalf)...But cheers to you dancers for making Thursday one of the most amusing nights i've had in a long time... This concludes the Soo's auditions for So You Think You Can Dance. Thank you, and goodnight!

It's Halloween Bitches!!
SATURDAY NIGHT WAS SENIORS NIGHT AT THE BACK DOOR!
Okay does anyone remember this picture?
If you do, cool! If you don't, then I have to tell you that that was me. I helped out a co-worker when I was living in Mississauga. She was taking a film makeup course. This was her finally project. Awesome eh?! Anywho. She had an extra mask left over, so she gave me it. So this Halloween I wanted to go as the old man, but I couldn't get the makeup anywhere near the same magnitude that she did. Mind you I didn't put a lot of time into it cuz, well, I didn't have much time to put into it. Anywho. So I get there and the big guy at the door, almost didn't let me in. He gave me the whole 20 questions thing. Eventually he let me in. Right off the bat, lots of pictures and compliments. But one guy threw me for a loop cuz he thought i was Donald Trump. Now when you look at the picture I look nothing like Trump. Anywho, the mask lasted about 2 hours, I was too sweat and the glue started to let go. So I took it off. I wish it would've last a little longer cuz I think I could've placed quite high in the best costume contest. Well here's the only pic I have right now. I'll add more as I get them.

Just a quick one for Chuck Norris fact fans.
This is my first time adding a video to my blog so hopefully it works. There isn't much to this blog other than this video. And this video is for anyone who loves all those fact about chuck norris. So without further adieu...

UFC 64: the sport of blood and broken noses!
CARNAGE! PAIN! BLOOD! BROKEN BONES!!! I LOVE THIS SPORT!!!
Back on October 14th, 2006, UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) aired a pay-per-view. Normally, we don't get these, but I'm glad we did for this one. It had all the stuff I wanted to see. First lets discuss the blood portion of the event. On this night there was two championship fights; the Lightweight title and the Middleweight title. The Lightweight match was, like all title fights, 5 rounds. Let's just say, I wish I won't every be involved in anything like this fight. The fighters were Sean Sherk and Ken Florian. Sean is more of a wrestler like fighter, whereas Ken is Brazilian Ju Jitsu. This is really too relavent I'm just trying to paint a picture. Anywho, shortly into the second round, Ken was on the bottom of a mount and was able to place an elbow strike into Sean's forehead. Now Ken is known to have "razor sharp" elbow strikes. Well, with the little room he had to make an effective blow, that statement is vaild. For it split Sean's head wide open. Now, i've seen blood in the UFC Octagon (their ring), but this was just pouring like a kitchen tap. Remember how I said this was a five round fight? Well, let's just say he bled profusely for the rest of this match. Sean ended up winning and became the new champ. Now just so your aware all that you read above was actually pointless filler, cuz all I really wanted was to have a legitiment reason to post these pictures. Oh and take a look at how bloody the ring is and then picture that on the entire thing.
Now onto the broken bones portion. K, well, it's not really a bone as it is a nose (which is mostly cartiledge). Anywho. In the Middleweight title match. Current champ Rich Franklin was facing newcomer Anderson Silva. Now not much was known of Silva but he previously made short work of another fighter who is extremely hard to knock out, which he did. Let's just make this short and sweet, much like the fight itself. In less than a 5 minute round, Rich was just overwhelmed with knees to the ribs, kidneys and especially face. He quickly and sadly lost his match, making it his first loss in the UFC. But that wasn't the only negative to come to him from this fight. As you may see where I'm going with this, he received a broken nose. But this wasn't any broken nose, this thing made his face look like a Picasso painting (sorry Ry); it looked like the letter C; if you took Anderson Silva's knee and lined it up with his nose, it would be a perfect match. Anywho, once again I just wanted a reason to post these pics. There is a before the match pic, some action pics and then the final result. Poor bastard! Anywho, enjoy!

Pop Tarts & Virus Warning. Updated
MMMM! POP TARTS!!! OH WAIT, UM OH, EWW!!!
Okay, so everyone has probably had a pop tart or two, at some point in their lives. There's, mmmmm chocolate, kinda mmmmm smore, and sorta mmmmm strawberry. There are also other flavours out there that maybe people like but I don't, so I'm not going to mention those ones. Anywho, so you may be wondering "Okay, where's he going with all this?" Well, let's just say I now know two more reasons why American's are considered overweight. This information was discovered with a little stroll through the U.S. Walmart. I noticed a new flavour and just about shit a brick cuz it's such an unnecessary flavour. Any guess?! Well if you guess anything but chocolate chip cookie dough, then you'd be wrong. But you didn't read wrong. I said cookie dough. Let's take the unhealthy goodness of a poptart and fill it with the equally lardfilled cookie dough. Oh, but the Amazing Discoveries didn't stop there. Oh no! Anyone care for a Strawberry Milkshake tart. Or better yet, Apple Strudel. I also like the A.D.H.D laced Frosted Caramel Chocolate. Frig, why don't they just make a friggen Frosted Powder Sugar and Maple Syrup Poptart. But yet there is more to my disbelieve, let me introduce you to Cookies and Creme Tart and Cinnamon Roll Poptart. One that was a little less of a shock and actually seemed liked the only redeeming new flavour was double berry, but still. And then I quickly went back into shock when I found French Toast, Frosted Chocolate Vanilla Cream, and Frosted Hot Fudge Sundae. Like did the people at Kellogg's go, "How can we give people the ability to eat a hot fudge sundea for breakfast?" Like WTF?! Anywho, that was just the flavors part of my poptarts discovery. The second part was a new type of Poptart. Now this might just be me, but I already thought Poptarts were quite portable and quick to make. I think it takes all of, um, 10 seconds to open a package and start eating a poptart cold. 2 minutes in a toaster if you want it warm. But Kellogg's introduced GoTarts, they're "Everything you love about PopTarts-now in bar form!" Now in Bar Form!! Now in Bar Form!! Oh sweet merciful crap my life is complete. I can now take my Poptarts where ever I want cuz they are in bar form! Like come on people, Poptarts are flat and come in packages of two, and can fit in a purse or backpack or can fit in some pockets. Anywho, check them out for yourself at your local American grocery store or here at the website Poptarts.com
Updated!!
Since writing about the pop tarts, I had received ideas of ice cream flavours, breakfast meals, nerd sprinkles, cookie dough pills and pork flavoured milk. I think we should make something that supplies all of these delicious thoughts. We'll call them the Hungry Man's Last Meal. It'll be like a TV Dinner. There will be the main meal of a large bar-like item. This item will look much like a burrito and it will be covered in one of three candies. Gotta have variety after all. The three candies will be M&M mini's (so they fit), Nerds, or Oreo cookie crumbs. As for what's inside the "burrito", again three choices. The first being, breakfast items; scrambled eggs, bacon, ham, hash browns and a breakfast sausage. All in layers, much like a sandwich of course. You then have you option of topping to pour on top. Maple syrup, hot fudge or cookie dough ice cream. The second meal is a lunch "burrito". Covered in either bacon bits, 4 melted cheeses, or dried pepper flakes. It will consist of grill cheese, the contents of a club sandwich and a cheese and pepperoni pizza, with a pickle on the side. This also gets it's choice of 3 topping/dressings; ceasar salad dressing, tobasco sauce or thousand island dressing. As for the dinner "burrito" it will be covered with brushetta bread fixings, garlic bread fixings or the works (sour cream, olives, chives and cheddar). It will consist of strips of steak, french fries, boneless riblets, taco seasoned beef and nacho chips. Again 3 sauces; KFC gravy, barbecue sauce, or a hot sauce/mayo/mustard concoction. Your 3 available drinks; Air's pork flavoured milk, a triple-thick cinnamon toast flavoured milkshake, or Swamp water (we won't even know what's mixed into that) And for dessert, your choice of cheesecake; double chocolate fudge Fudge-o explosion, Peanut butter Cup and Milk Dud overload or Junior Mint and Franken-Berry Wonderland. And each will come with a new Flintstones mulit-vitamin. There will be Chocolate Brownie Barney, Fluffenutter Fred, and Big Mac with fries Bam Bam. I think these will fly off the shelf. Who's hungry?!
And this part isn't to be funny but more for general awareness. I recently received an msn messager message from a friend and it said something along the lines of "is this you in this picture" followed by a link. And it looked like a legit link so I clicked on it. But it went to a site that started to have my computer download something executable program. But thanks to me owning a Mac it was avoided quite easily. But I know a lot of you don't so. Just a heads up and spread the word around about it.

Future Shop, Borat, Apocalypse and Lego Mario.
So here is some more things in my life that has happened that I remembered that I didn't mention before and stuff that is new and other things you all should read. So here we go. First.
IS THERE A FUTURE FOR ME AT FUTURE SHOP?! **Update**
Well the answer to this question is still not answered. But I'll tell you what they told me and you can come to your own conclusion. I was looking good or handsome or striking or hunky, (pick one and that was me), anywho, and I head on into Best Western where they are holding the interviews. I'm asked to sit in a room and fill out my availability. Now in this room they have a less than 3 minute trailer playing promoting their company. Lets just say that thing got old quick. I felt like I was being brain washed cuz it didn't take long to fill out "Available: Anytime, Everyday" so that sure was the only thing to pay attention to for a good 15 minutes whilst I waited. Anywho, I get called into the other room for my interview. Things went so well that half way through, she scheduled me for a second interview with another guy. After we finished up, back to the brain wash room for more "re-education" Another 15 minutes of that and the second interview calls me in. We talk for a bit so he can get to know my "character". Thing like my good qualities and bad qualities are discussed, as is my future within the company and in my life. And then it comes to the end of the interview and this is how the guy summed it up. He said "Everything I've heard sounds great and I think you'd be great for the company and here's where I'm going to be honest with you, if I can?" Um, sure?! "Even though you seem really good for us, it seems like you are a person who knows what he wants, sees the light at the end of the road. However, in order for you to get to that light, you often will take the side roads to get there. You take the long route. So I'm not saying for sure that you've got the job but I like what I've heard and if things go well then you'll hear from us next week. And if you don't get a call, don't fret cuz sometimes things don't work with the ones we do hire so you still might here from us." That was the gist of it. So he liked what we discussed but what was with the light/road analysis? Does that mean he wants to hire but questions my decision to join the company. I don't know. You be the judge!
**Update**
After I wrote most of this blog I didn't finish it before I posted it and before I came back to it, I got a call from Future Shop. I've got the job! Not 100% sure of all the details, but it's full time and it'll get the bills paid. So aparently I do have a Future with them.
NEXT: MORE BORAT
So I'm sure most of you may not care about Borat but I stumbled across some "Best of Borat" There is a bunch of hilarious scenes especially at his manners class near the end of video. Now I'll warn you it's about 25 minutes but it's funny shit.
Here it is for you.
Best of Borat
AND THEN THERE WAS THE APOCALYPSE!!! AND THEN IT WAS GONE! AND THEN IT WAS BACK! BUT NOT COMPLETELY! AND THEN IT WAS BACK IN FULL FORCE! *play Star Wars Empire song* bum bum bum bumpa bum bumpa bum (that's the sound of immanent chaos and destruction and evil)
Sorry for the long title. But it's Apocalypse he deserves it. Anywho, it all started back I think in April. I was bummed out and Lauren (my sweet sexy girlfriend) ordered a Wolverine action figure online and had it delivered to me. And it cheered me up all right, cuz I'm a big nerdy kid after all. So as I'm opening my present, in the package is this big leg of another figure, which turns out to be Apocalypse. Which is a villian in the X-men Comics that is basically all powerful. Not the best character but still cool. So now I'm intrigued to get the rest of the parts. As weeks went by I picked up a few of the other action figure that contained his other parts. The rest were then givin to me as birthday presents. Again thanks to my lovely G/F Lauren. Anywho, after a week of farting around with him, I went to pose him on my computer desk and SNAP! His friggin leg snapped off. I couldn't believe it. I was pissed, cuz this happened about 20 minutes after getting a call from Midas Muffler taht I needed to get $1400 in car repairs. So that was the icing on the cake. Now you might be thinking well, just go buy a replacement. Well that's not that easy because where it broke prevented me from doing such a simple repair. So I sent an email to the company customer service. Their response was to send the whole thing to them and they will replace him.
Done and done, off with the postal service it went. Few weeks later a letter arrives. It states that it will take 4-6 weeks to get my figure back but since parts were out of stock it was possible it would take longer than 6 weeks. Okay whatever. This was Mid June. Late Aug is rolling around and at this point I'm in the process of moving back home. I write the company a forwarding address if they haven't sent it yet. Ironically, an hour after sending the email Apocalypse is returned to me. Talk about speed of service. I open the box and he's all disassembled again. I start to put him together again but there's a problem. The hole in his leg to join to his hip joint is way too big. So I send them another email to disregard the last email but tell them that now I can't put him together cuz of his leg problem. I receive a couple of response to both of the emails that state the exact same thing, showing that he didn't even really read the second one but whatever I'll deal with it in the sault. No less than a week at my new place here in the sault and at 8:30 in the bloody morning after a night of drinking, mail man has a new parcel for me with the replacement parts. Horray! I put him all back together and he's ready to destory the earth again.

K I'm a nerd but I think this guy takes the cake for a few reasons. And here they are. 1. He has legos. (easy, easy. I know legos are cool) 2. He figure out how to design mario out of them. 3. He has the entire first level of mario 3 memorized or figured out. 4. He's animated a lego mario doing the entire first level of super mario 3 using stop motion animation and CGI.
Anywho, it looks neat. Check it out.

IS THERE A FUTURE FOR ME AT FUTURE SHOP?! **Update**
Well the answer to this question is still not answered. But I'll tell you what they told me and you can come to your own conclusion. I was looking good or handsome or striking or hunky, (pick one and that was me), anywho, and I head on into Best Western where they are holding the interviews. I'm asked to sit in a room and fill out my availability. Now in this room they have a less than 3 minute trailer playing promoting their company. Lets just say that thing got old quick. I felt like I was being brain washed cuz it didn't take long to fill out "Available: Anytime, Everyday" so that sure was the only thing to pay attention to for a good 15 minutes whilst I waited. Anywho, I get called into the other room for my interview. Things went so well that half way through, she scheduled me for a second interview with another guy. After we finished up, back to the brain wash room for more "re-education" Another 15 minutes of that and the second interview calls me in. We talk for a bit so he can get to know my "character". Thing like my good qualities and bad qualities are discussed, as is my future within the company and in my life. And then it comes to the end of the interview and this is how the guy summed it up. He said "Everything I've heard sounds great and I think you'd be great for the company and here's where I'm going to be honest with you, if I can?" Um, sure?! "Even though you seem really good for us, it seems like you are a person who knows what he wants, sees the light at the end of the road. However, in order for you to get to that light, you often will take the side roads to get there. You take the long route. So I'm not saying for sure that you've got the job but I like what I've heard and if things go well then you'll hear from us next week. And if you don't get a call, don't fret cuz sometimes things don't work with the ones we do hire so you still might here from us." That was the gist of it. So he liked what we discussed but what was with the light/road analysis? Does that mean he wants to hire but questions my decision to join the company. I don't know. You be the judge!
**Update**
After I wrote most of this blog I didn't finish it before I posted it and before I came back to it, I got a call from Future Shop. I've got the job! Not 100% sure of all the details, but it's full time and it'll get the bills paid. So aparently I do have a Future with them.
NEXT: MORE BORAT
So I'm sure most of you may not care about Borat but I stumbled across some "Best of Borat" There is a bunch of hilarious scenes especially at his manners class near the end of video. Now I'll warn you it's about 25 minutes but it's funny shit.
Here it is for you.
Best of Borat
AND THEN THERE WAS THE APOCALYPSE!!! AND THEN IT WAS GONE! AND THEN IT WAS BACK! BUT NOT COMPLETELY! AND THEN IT WAS BACK IN FULL FORCE! *play Star Wars Empire song* bum bum bum bumpa bum bumpa bum (that's the sound of immanent chaos and destruction and evil)
Sorry for the long title. But it's Apocalypse he deserves it. Anywho, it all started back I think in April. I was bummed out and Lauren (my sweet sexy girlfriend) ordered a Wolverine action figure online and had it delivered to me. And it cheered me up all right, cuz I'm a big nerdy kid after all. So as I'm opening my present, in the package is this big leg of another figure, which turns out to be Apocalypse. Which is a villian in the X-men Comics that is basically all powerful. Not the best character but still cool. So now I'm intrigued to get the rest of the parts. As weeks went by I picked up a few of the other action figure that contained his other parts.

Randomness and other useless things for you to read!!
Since my bizarro rant in my last blog, I sure have been busy. So busy (or lazy depending on how you look at it) that I haven't wrote a new blog in awhile. During this "break" thing have happened that I wish to forward on to you. Hopefully I can remember everything. So without further adieu...
MOVING BACK TO THE SAULT
So the first question I'm normally asked is "So how do you like living back in the sault?" Well the answer is, Engh! (that's the sound of a grunted shoulder shrug that is as neutral an answer you can get.) The soo is nice cuz it cheaper to live here, and my friends and family are here, not to mention the g/f is here too. But the Toronto thing had it's plus's too, for instance, if you wanted to do basically anything, you could just get up and do it. Here in the sault, you'd have to drive atleast 3 hours to possibly hit a city that may or may not have said activity available to you. I'm currently living in a the basement of a friends house with all utilities but phone included. Which is a pretty sweet deal. I'm back at my old position at The Block. I sure fell right back into the groove but now I have some financial issues. Here's is my prediciment. Blockbuster Head Office decided to cut 16 available hours for scheduling. Thus, leaving my boss Annalee stuggling to give everyone a necessary amount of hours. Thus, giving me only about 18-24 hours a week. Which is about half of what I was use to. Oh and on a side note, one of the other reason for coming home is to save money for potential tuition for Sept 07. So since this is a "cut" in pay, I now have to consider a second job. Which brings us to my next topic.
THE FUTURE SHOP ONLINE APPLICATION
Oh my god, that thing is hilarious. If you have about 20 minutes of your life to waste and you want to laugh at some ludicrous questions fill it out. Basically it starts out with you filling out basic info about yourself but then you get into "Stage 2". Now "Stage 2" is a bunch of questions that you are to answer as best you can. There is probably about 50 or so questions that basically are asking you if you are:
a) a thief
b) a wannabe thief
c) disgruntled at society
d) a goody two shoes
e) someone likes to watch others steal
f) a brawler
g) all of the above
An example of the application: "Customers are just out to get you" with your possible answers of Definitely Yes/Probably Yes/ Probably No/ Definitely No
Now I'm think to myself on this one "Is this a statement or a question"
Another question "Have you always told the truth?" Possible answers: Yes/No. Now this is a trap of a question cuz unless you're Mother Teresa or Jesus Christ himself then you can't possibly answer yes. If you answer Yes then you are lying and therefore haven't answered the truth and therefore classified a liar and won't be hired. Then if you answer no, then you are telling the truth but you are a liar that doesn't deserve to be hired but are probably thanked for the honesty. These are some of the more basic questions. I can't remember anymore at the moment but Lauren and I were friggen dying reading them. Speaking of dying, I totally could've caused a horrible car accident, which brings us to segment 3
THE CAR ACCIDENT THAT I CAUSED BUT WASN'T INVOLVED IN
Okay, so it wasn't an awesome tire squealing, cars flipping, gas tanks exploding accident. Actually it was just enough of an accident to have be qualified as one. Here's the story, I hope you enjoy. As a motorist, there are many a times when you do the good samaritan act of letting another motorist pull out of a parking lot by stopping early at an intersection. Well that was one of those days and one of those acts. I had stopped early to let an older gentleman pull out. Now this fellow was wanting to head in the opposite direction that I was, so as he was continuing his approach he was looking to make sure he could merge into his appropriate lane. As he was doing so, I noticed yet another motorist in my rear view mirror speeding down the centre of the road to make a left turn at the intersection. Here's the problem, the old man wasn't looking in my direction anymore, therefore, he's not noticing the speeding motorist heading towards his merging zone. Now it's also quite apparent that Speedy Gonzalez doesn't notice Old Man Driver. Sure enough before I could even finish honking my horn the old man clipped the whole side of Speedy's car destroying the whole side of it and only doing minimal damage to his own. I felt kinda bad cuz if I was a total dick and just block the old man in, there wouldn't have even been an accident. So as the light turned green, i just simply drove around the traffic blemish and continued on with my day. Speaking of day, it 430 in the morning as I reach this point in my blog and I'm going to bed. I think I had more to write but my brain stopped working back at the word bizzaro, the rest was written on auto pilot or sugar from the multiple handful of jelly belly jelly beans. MMMMMMM jelly belly's...oh bleh...buttered popcorn. To be continued? Definitely Yes/Probably Yes/Probably No/Definitely No

How the summer ate my friends.
Over the last couple of weeks, I have noticed that there has been a lack of Blogging and Commenting done by many of my friends. So that got me wondering, "Where did they go?!" I figured I ought to do some research. First thing I noticed was that I don't have much of a life. Especially since my roommate Nat and most of my other friends had all gone to the Sault or away to where ever it is they are. Thus leaving me with a lot of time by myself and a lot of time on the computer. Therefore, I check for new blogs and comments frequently and added new ones to my own. The next thing I noticed was that when I left my apartment, it was strangely warm outside. I was totally unware of this since I live in an air conditioned apartment and my work is too. So in discovering this "heat", I looked around and noticed this bright light coming from the sky. And then it hit me..."Oh yeah, it's summer" See I never realized this for I haven't had the chance to indulge at all in any of this season this year, mainly due to extreme amount of hours that I've been working. So in realizing that, I noted to myself. I REALLY don't have a life. But then I also came to the conclusion..."Hmmmm, maybe because it's summer, they have better things to do then to write little quips on the computer" And then I thought "Nah, the damn sun ate them up" Well I say to you sun "DAMN YOU!! DAMN YOU SUN!! YOU GIVE ME BACK MY FRIENDS!!! WHY DID YOU HAVE TO TAKE THEM AWAY!! THEY WERE MINE FIRST! STUPID JERKFACE JERK! FINE! FINE! BE THAT WAY! And then that's when it started to chase me. I managed to get away but now I have to look behind my back and sleep with one eye open.
Anywho!
*note: I was not high, stoned or whacked out on goofballs! **Also note: I'm not having a mental break down nor have I gone retarded... well not completely.

That Tennis Serve is an Ace!!! Oh and BEERFEST!! **UPDATE
New movie with Jon Heder (Napolean Dynamite) and Billy Bob Thorton. Looks like Anger Management met Hitch and gave birth to this. Anywho, looks like it could be quite funny. All I have to say is wait for the best tennis serve I've ever seen.
New Movie
Super Troopers + Beer = Possibly the best movie about beer ever. (Excluding Strange Brew)
The guys from Super Troopers are at it again with this one about an underground beer drinking competition. BEERFEST!!
Looks like they have a chance of redeeming themselves after Club Dread. Fingers crossed. Here take a peek!
Beer Fest
**Update**
Remember when I mentioned Borat? Remember me mentioning him on Conan. Well, I found a video that highlights said interview. Oddly enough, there is no reference to Hkrum but the rest is sooooo funny. Enjoy!

The Great Nerd Debate (oddly, not including me)
I'm going to make this seem as nerdy as possible including making myself look equally as bad, just by the way I write this. NOTE: I'm not a nerd during the Great Nerd Debate, I know I was just as shocked. Anywho, let me set the scene.
I've been recently helping out at yet another store in my district. I arrive at "The Block", (that's Blockbuster, or work, to those who aren't hip), for my evening shift. As I entered the store, I'm greeted by "Comic Book" Andy and by newcomer to said location, "Ultimate Critic" Jer the Shift Manager. NOTE: The stuff in quotes is not part of their real names or do they refer to themselves by those names. Now at this point I'm slightly confused, for I was unaware that Jer was working the day shift. So I talked to them for a bit and find out that Sheila, who I thought to be working the shift, was indeed there and was in the backroom. I head back there and talk to her and the two other coworkers that were back there.
In returning to the front of the store, there is a customer who is wanting to rent "V for Vendetta". Which is a pretty good movie, but that isn't what we are here to discuss. Anyways, as I'm doing some tasking at the counter, Andy is ringing the customer through, to which the customer asks "Is it any good?" Now Andy's response could have been a simple: a) "Yeah it's not bad", b) "Yeah, It's really good" or c) "It wasn't very good". However, Andy's response is, "It was alright but it could've been a lot better. Have you ever read the graphic novel? (comic to those who don't know what a graphic novel is), cuz if you've got time you should!" Unbeknowst to all of us, the customer apparently is into comic books. And this triggers the "Great Nerd Debate". The customer responses with some comic jargon and facts that I didn't quite catch due to a phone call. However, when my attention returned to opening remarks of the "Debate", Jer is also involved in the Debate. Now this "Debate" is more a discussion of who is best for which role in whatever comic based or video game based movie. Also discussed were movies yet to come out, movies that were good, were bad, how they could've improved, director's that could've made things better, as well as anything else you could possibly imagine. Now you may be thinking, "Wow, I'm really surprised you weren't involved with this Kyle?" The truth is, I did add a few remarks to the discussion, but all I added were facts that were to either correct or help out a flustered participant. After 10 or 12 minutes of listening to these three shoot back and forth with names and ideas, I had to get away. I just couldn't handle it, it was too much nerd-esterone in one confined area. So I head to the backroom to where my other coworkers were and state "Don't go out there!! There's a Nerd Debate going on!!!" After hearing their laughter, I added that I just had to get away from it for it has been going on for 10 minutes.
Following a 5 minute break in the back, I figure it's safe to go back up. I open the door, only to see Jer coming to ask me to give him a hand with something. As I head back to the front, Andy and the customer are still in discussion about something comic related. With Jer finishing telling me what is wrong, he jumps right back into the circle without even missing a beat. Like he had Vulcan ears that picked up everything that was said. While I was tending to my current task handed to me, the phone rings, and rings, and rings. Neither employee stops their train of thought to answer the phone. Sheila, from the back, had and transfer the call back up to the front, right to the phone in front of Jer. Again the phone rings a few times before someone takes the transfer. I've been back up at the front for approximately another 10 minutes, 5 since the phone incident. Now finished my recent task, I head, no, speed walk to the back room to get away from the High Council of Nerds that had formed before my eyes.
As I returned to the back, I again, inform my coworkers of the Fellowship that is developing elsewhere in the store. To give them and you a better idea of what was happening, I mentioned a scene in "Clerks 2" In said scene, there is a debate of which is better: Star Wars or Lord of the Rings. That debate climaxed when one nerd gets so worked up he throws up. I was afraid that a similar situation was forecoming.
Again after a few minutes away from the Three Wise Men Of Comic Lore, I return to the front only to see a sign of closure to this war of words. This sign, the customer is actually near the exit door. He had only been in the store for about 50 minutes. 40 of them discussing and debating all that is comics. He wishes them a good day and off into the sunset he went. Horray the end of the debate and all things nerdy!!! Oh wait, it's not over. Jer and Andy aren't done. They continue to talk about some more topics. 6 o'clock rolls around and that's Andy cue to clock out, for his shift is done and finally so is the debate.
Yet, I was fooled again. Jer, still on his high Unicorn of Comic, starts asking me things about comics. I leave my answers brief as to not elaborate. Another hour of comic book discussion and at 7 o'clock Jer's shift came to an end. And with that so was the debate, discussion and questioning of all things comic.
Sorry if this bored you but I had to tell someone. Oh and the official time of length of the debate. 1 hour and 41 minutes.

He had only been in the store for about 50 minutes. 40 of them discussing and debating all that is comics. He wishes them a good day and off into the sunset he went. Horray the end of the debate and all things nerdy!!! Oh wait, it's not over. Jer and Andy aren't done. They continue to talk about some more topics. 6 o'clock rolls around and that's Andy cue to clock out, for his shift is done and finally so is the debate.
Yet, I was fooled again. Jer, still on his high Unicorn of Comic, starts asking me things about comics. I leave my answers brief as to not elaborate. Another hour of comic book discussion and at 7 o'clock Jer's shift came to an end. And with that so was the debate, discussion and questioning of all things comic.
Sorry if this bored you but I had to tell someone. Oh and the official time of length of the debate. 1 hour and 41 minutes.

Soapy Tits and Politics
This one is mainly for the boys with no girls in their lives *cough cough LOSER ahem*, sorry; and also for the girls that either like girls or like to touch boobs. Nonetheless, it's ALLLL GOOD! Basically, when you are in the shower there is nothing better than grabbing a nice set of soapy breasts, well besides seeing some soapy wet breast. Anywho, if you can't have the real thing, I guess these would make for a reasonable replacement. Take a peak and let me know if you order any so I can laugh at you! Or then again Christmas IS coming up?!
MMM, Boob Tit!
And now for a very funny clip. Hear me out before you don't watch it. It's from the Colbert Report. If you haven't seen the show before, it's a political "news" show. It is very similar to The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Anywho, on this show, the host, Stephen Colbert, has a segment known as "Better Know a District". He basically talks about one of America's Districts and follows it up with an interview with the congressman or whatever political figure that represents the district. The interview in this clip is one of the best interviews I've seen Stephen Colbert do by far. He's SO quick with his ad libbing, it's great. A must see, even if you don't care about the States, politics or never seen the show. Enjoy!
O' Great Colbert.

I'm such a big nerdy kid.
If I didn't already know that I wasn't a virgin I'd say that the movie the 40 year old virgin was totally where my future was heading. Especially due to my excitement of these next things. Also I'm about to make reference to other nerdy things that I'm sure will only make me sound more of a loser. But to all of you I shall adjust my glasses with my index finger and will write this all in the voice of the nerds from the Simpsons. Enjoy!
First things first... Tarantino is considering doing a prequel movie to the Kill Bill series. However, word has it that he wants to do it like an anime movie similar to the scene depiciting O-Ren's past in Vol. 1. This could be very interesting if it ever gets completed. But I'm not holding my breathe for it.
Next More Spidey Spidey Spidey.
Some images were revealed at the Comic-Con last week. This one is cool.
This is apparently Vemon (or soon to be). I so can't wait for this movie, and also rumour has it that there is a total of 4 villians that make an appearance. Whoa, back the trolley up....4!! As they say for the one Price is Right Game...THAT'S TOO MUCH! Here's how I see things happening, and this is purely guess work. The first villian will be shown as he's committing some crime. And Spidey will stop him fairly early. I could see it being someone crappy like Shocker or Someone equally crap-tastic. I'm guessing this cuz they won't want to run the gambit of characters to early. So some small insignificant character would be perfect. The second and third ones to appear will be Green Goblin and Sandman, since they were already shown in the trailer. And the 4 will be Venom. But his appearance will be very very brief at the end of the movie. Cuz Venom is created after Spiderman rids himself of the Black "alien symbiote" Costume. When Venom is formed it would be perfect to have it near the end to leave it open for the *fourth movie, much how the 2nd one left it for the Green Goblin for the 3rd. If you were at all lost reading anything above, I apologize for I am a level 12 Elf Lord (that's a nerd reference for those who don't know nerdy things like Dungeons and Dragons.) (Oh and I don't play Dungeons and Drag...oh nevermind)
*thanks for the editing ryan. :)
Anywho, Next The Frenchie's have an animated movie that is coming out that looks great.
Renaissance will become my new favourite animated movie, that isn't for kids. It's art style is very similar to a great video game called XIII. Now the game was made to resemble a comic book but this movie looks anything but. And the fact that is all black and white is just great. I can't wait to see this. Apparently it's available in Europe already on DVD, it still is on it's way to North American theaters in Sept., but i'll wait for DVD. I guess I've got a bit of a wait for this. Anywho check out the trailer.
Renaissance Trailer
In the words (or Rhymes) of Vanilla Ice...Go Ninja Go Ninja Go! Go Ninja Go Ninja Rap!!
If you don't know what that's from it's from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Secret of the Ooze.
And if you can't tell where i'm going with this then you are slow. For those of you up to speed there is a brand new 3D animated Ninja Turtles movie. Looks pretty stylish. Oh too be ninja! Anywho, here's the trailer.
T.U.R.T.L.E. POWER!! (I'm such a loser)
So that's my nerdy update, I shall now returned to my video games, He-man Dvds and play with my "lightsaber" heh heh!

Bacon Cereal, A German, An Idiot and Borat...OH MY!! *updated
That's right! You read my title right. All of those things in all of their glory. So lets get it started, shall we?!
First off: Bacon Cereal. (The closest thing I could find to Donkey Bacon Cereal)
Here's a little background for those who don't know the story already. About 8-10 years ago, there was a grocery list that was posted on the fridge at my father's place. One night my dear friend Craig Veltri decided to add Donkey Bacon Cereal onto the list. Obviously a very fictitious item, however, it remained on there as a joke until the list was actually taken to get the real groceries. Days went by, a new list was posted and once again Craig added Donkey Bacon Cereal. Again a good laugh was had. Again groceries were purchased, and a new list was added. But this is where the story gets a little funnier. As I sat with my dad and my step mother for dinner, the conversation got onto picking up some groceries. Then my step mom Nancy, turns her attention to me and goes "I noticed that there was some cereal you added to the list the last couple of days"
I had kinda forgot about it because the joke wasn't fresh in my mind. So, confused, I responded "Cereal?!" She continues "Ya, some sort of bacon cereal?" Now I'm trying not to burst out laughing and with a big smile on my face, I ask "Oh you didn't really look for that did you?" She goes "Ya I was standing in the cereal aisle for like 10 minutes trying to find it. I asked the (clerk) if he could help me find it." Now I'm shaking my head and laughing, not to the full extent I wish to, and told her that it was just Craig being dumb and that it doesn't really exist. Well needless to say she was a little embarrassed to be had like that but if only she could've fast forwarded time to present time and uncovered this little recipe. For someone has created a bacon cereal.
It looks extremely disgusting and will never be marketed, but to see the glorious meal just follow this little link... Bacon Cereal
Next up: Germany's Favourite Crooner (This one is mainly for Aaron but I know others will also enjoy just as much.)
Chrissy passed this one on to me and as I watched it I couldn't believe how incredibly nerdy David Hasselhoff is. That's right, the Hoff!
Seems with the rekindling of his American career with his role in "Click", Hoff thinks he should make a music video. Oh what a video it is too. Secret Agent Man has never sounded or looked so sweet! I don't even know where to begin to make fun. Whether it's the multiple close up shots, the fact that he does all sort of ridiculous poses, wait.. did he just fly off in a jet pack? Um, yes yes he did. Just watch it and you'll see the dork at his greatest. Secret Agent Hoff!
Wheel.....!!!! Of....!!!!! Fortune!!!!!!
Okay the category is "On The Menu"
Well hopefully you've made a better guess than the contestant. You must watch this, it only takes two minutes and you'll never see a bigger idiot in your life. Wheel of Fortune Retard
And last but not least, Borat!!
For those not sure as to who Borat is, he is one of many characters created by Sacha Baron Cohen (aka Ali G). He's a quirky, foreign character/guy in hilarious "skits" The first time I saw him was when he appeared on Conan O'Brien. On that show he asked Conan if he would like to touch his "hkrum". I can't even spell it. It basically sounded like he was trying to pronounce the word that clearing your throat would be, if it were a word. Well "hkrum" referred to his penis. After discovering this, the show became awkwardly quite funny. I've also seen him in "skit", where he visited an American College, and went into the football team change room and awkwardness pursued, as well as much other funny event. Anywho, I guess I'm not the only one to find this "guy" funny cuz they're making a movie of him. Here are some pictures of him out promoting his movie
If you think that's funny watch the trailer, it's twice as funny!! Borat
Hope some of these have enlightened someone's day!!!
*update* found this today, thought I would share it with all of you. This guy clearly has never seen a horse, yet he seems to think that he is looking at a horse, as he points at parts and describes them.
PSST!! That's Not a Horse!

My new friend Julia from Spain.
K so I often get emails and/or msn contact requests from names I don't quite recognize. But with the contact requests, I don't always know who they are, so I accept it in case it's someone I know but just don't realize it. Most of the time, it's people I don't know but they will strike up a conversation and I will ask them who they are, who they think this is, and then let them know they have the wrong person. Usually that ends the conversations with apologies and the like. However, tonight was not one of those nights. Tonight I made a new friend. Here now, is our conversation in it's entirety. I will play the part of kyzee. Ponty2001 will be played by Julia.
ponty2001: Hi; are u here?
kyzee: hey who is this; or better yet who do you think this is
ponty2001: hehe; I've added to my contact list , but i'm wrong, I think that u're another person; what's ur name?
kyzee: guess
ponty2001: I'dont know; john?; Kyzee?
kyzee: lol no it's not john. that's a bit closer; my name is kyle
ponty2001: kyle; good
kyzee: so i'm guessing i'm really not who your looking for
ponty2001: I'm Julia; i'm spanish; where are u from?
kyzee: canada; hola julia *note* In telling Nat (my roommate) that I was talking to someone from Spain she told me to say "Hola" to Julia.
ponty2001: sabes español?
kyzee: lol oh no. i've seen an episode of Dora the Explorer she speaks spanish sometimes in case you don't know the show. it's for little kids. *note* this is bull. The truth is, at work we are giving out Dora tattoos when customers donate money. They have her saying Hola and Hello.
ponty2001: how old are u?; don't worry, I'm not gay *note* usually that means they are but wait.......
kyzee: wait are you a girl yes/no?
ponty2001: no
kyzee: oh. sorry dude. i guess by your name that you were a girl but that's because julia is a very popular girls name here.
ponty2001: yes but my name is in catalan and we use the accentuation to differenciate the names of boy/girl; Júlia= for girls Julià = for boys; do u want to make an exchange of messenger accounts of girls; it can be good *note* this is a very odd request. VERY ODD!!
ponty2001: annaamatlle@hotmail.com; she speaks english very good; how old are u? *note* I never agreed to exchanging, however he instantly sent me one of his contacts. **note2** Don't worry girls I never sent him your info.
kyzee: um i'd give you some of mine but they'd just be pissed; I've got guests so I should go.
ponty2001: don't worry
kyzee: anywho dude. have a good one. i should get back to my guests.
ponty2001: what are u doing; I don't understand this thing of the guests; are u working now?; oh people in Ur house; i don't understand you too much but if u have to do something, do it; here is 4 am and 35ºC; sleep is impossible with tis hot
kyzee: i would not be able to sleep also; but it's only like 20C here; no wonder your talking to me.
ponty2001: do u smoke joints?
kyzee: no not my thing.
ponty2001: i happen to and ecstasy pill; look this
Began receiving HPIM26381.JPG (10:14:46 PM) **note** for some reason he is now sending me a picture.
ponty2001: This is not the best pict to imagine me; but u're not a girl and it don't take care to me; do u know any girl of 16 to 20 years for me?? **note also very strange**
kyzee: sorry dude. all my friends are around my age.
ponty2001: don't worry; what type of music do u listen?
kyzee: basically anything
Successfully received HPIM26381.JPG (10:20:35 PM) **note*** I don't open the picture right away
ponty2001: techno?; Rave?
kyzee: not so much rave but a little techno
ponty2001: I'm dj; I mix techno and sometimes I make raves;: people in canada make raves? **note** It is at this point I open the picture. My reaction is as follows..
kyzee: ya but they are not as often; i have to leave man. i'll talk to you later
Now don't get the wrong idea but the picture wasn't of a wang or a naked man or whatever else your perverted minds are conjuring. It was your basic headshot. But after analysing the conversation and viewing the pic, I was done with this character. Also shortly after ending the conversation, I got to thinking. A side effect of E is raised body temperature, so I think this guy is probably just flying high and it's probably like 15 degrees. So I decide to check out the temp on the computer. Average temperature in Spain: about 22C So my assumptions were probably right. Anywho. here's the pic of my new friend. If anyone wants to, I'm sure he'd love to hear from you.
ponty2001: Hi; are u here?
kyzee: hey who is this; or better yet who do you think this is
ponty2001: hehe; I've added to my contact list , but i'm wrong, I think that u're another person; what's ur name?
kyzee: guess
ponty2001: I'dont know; john?; Kyzee?
kyzee: lol no it's not john. that's a bit closer; my name is kyle
ponty2001: kyle; good
kyzee: so i'm guessing i'm really not who your looking for

Spiderman. Spiderman. Does whatever...this looks awesome!!
Is it sad that a 26 year old man is giddy with anticipation for a movie that isn't coming out for almost a whole year still? Well I don't care what you think I'm jacked. I just saw the recently available teaser trailer for the next installment and so far I think this one is going to dominate the previous two. That and it may even be better than all the other comic book movies combined. If It's not I'll be very surprise. Anywho check the trailer out for yourself and let me know if you agree or disagree. And you best agree!!!

My play date with Aaron Irvine
For all of you who don't know Aaron, we worked together at Blockbuster back in the Sault and now he lives in the GTA (by Canada's Wonderland). So we discuss going to see Nacho Libre one day. That day was today. However, the movie viewing was not all that was on the agenda for today.
We met around 4 at the Colossus Theater to start our day of activities. We went in to check out when the movie started so we knew how much time we had for our activities. Our first stop was at IKEA or as I refer to it, DO IT YOUR DAMN SELF store. All we had to pick up was a pepper grinder, and it seemed quiet easy of a task and it was. However there was a few things we witnessed during our visit. The first being the fatty's eating their gross hot dogs while sitting on display furniture outside. Like I understand its nice out, I also understand that you may not want to eat in your car, but really putting your fat sweaty ass on the display patio furniture is like saying "You broke it, so you must buy it". Cuz really who wants those things after your ass sweat has lacquered the wood? So we are inside the store and not once, not twice, but three times were we totally just cut off by other customers. This only being only a few seconds into the store. But we bit our tongues and continued with our shopping. We found what we were looking for and brought it to our nice teenage cashier. It was here that made us both laugh cuz I understand that IKEA is keen on doing it yourself but the way our transaction went through seemed a little awkward. See, our cashier scanned the grinder, she took aaron's cash but it was the next step she fell short on. After the receipt printed she grabbed the grinder, looked at us oddly and then strangly places the item on another counter right beside the bags. As she starts with the next customer, we look at each other slightly caught off guard on what was just witnessed, grab a bag for ourselves and leave. You see, neither of us quite knew about that stage of checking out but whatever, we laughed about it and carried on.
Our next stop was Dave and Busters. If you've never been to one before it's basically a Chuck E. Cheese for big kids but still the same fun toys. We play a couple of games until we come across a shooting game. Ghost Squad is the name, and your given these big ass machine guns to play with. Oh but that wasn't the only fun to be had with this game. As we were selecting our character I noticed I could change my outfit. I pick something I find quite fun. Aaron noticing my funny character looks for one himself. Our results are of this:
Although you can't get a good idea of the true humour that we experienced the game cinematics looked like if you took this:
and mixed it to each one of these:
This and adding the fact that we shot hostages and our own men and we were rolling. The day continue with us making fun of people, collecting tickets from playing games and oh did I mention making fun of people. After we ran out of "credits" we cashed in our tickets for points in their "prize shop" or Area of Useless Crap That You Don't Really Need But Will Take Because You Can. But prize shop is shorter and doesn't need as much Neon signing. Anywho, while looking at the crap, I mean prizes we notice some Care Bears. Now I can't say I remember Thanks a Lot bear but there it was. What kind of shitty name is that. "Ya, Thanks a lot Bear!" (in the most disgustingly sarcastic voice). So we grab some crap and stand at the check out counter only to have some halfwit retard stand with her back to us. We waited til she was done pickin her nose or thinking about how many boys she will never kiss and she finally scanned our items through. Onto our next stop!
Boston Pizza was our choice for dinner. Yet oddly enough neither of us had pizza. I know, "You went to a pizza place and didn't get pizza?" Yes that's correct. And as Aaron pointed out "I didn't know Boston was known for their pizza" which deterred me from eating pizza from here. As we entered the joint, the hostess asked us if we were over 19. Given the correct answer we were escorted to another section of the restaurant. I'm thinking "There's an adult section to this place?" and I'm totally puzzled as to where she's taking us. It's a more secluded, less family section. That's cool. Sports are playing on TV's, its not busy therefore faster service, it's all good. After our waitress takes our order, we both notice that she totally just eye fucked the shit out of aaron. We were laughing our asses off at what we just witnessed. It was so obviously done, like she wanted to be noticed. She was even bring us our pop refills, just as we were taking our last slurps from the current one. Almost as though she was watching and waiting for her next opportunity to come to our table. As we are enjoying our meals, I couldn't help but notice that some mentally challenged boys are playing pool. That is not the problem. The problem came when they took the basketballs out of the hoop game and one was continuously bouncing his. Now really...? Who's going to ask them to stop? But then the other two join in the festivities and bounce their at different speeds and god just shoot them and let me enjoy my meal. Joe, sorry to rip this from you but. Kudos boys, for irratating the shit outta me during my meal.
It was now onto the movie, but oh shit!!!!! We lost track of time and we missed both of the early shows. Next show was at 10:10, which was about 2 hours away. What the hell are we to do? Bing! Find another theater. So after going to two other theaters we find it and a little theater and it was just about to start. Again we get another dumbass cashier that spills all of her coins all over the place but we are in and life is good. The movie is funny. If you like Napoleon Dynamite you will like this movie. Jack Black is the star of this movie, with a good support cast, played by his eyebrows, his facial expressions and body movement. Also the flick is filled with plenty of good quotes that will be repeated, i'm sure, for many days to come. Some of these said quotes are as follows:
(All quotes to be said in a bad mexican accent)
"Do you remember when everyone was shouting my name, and I used my strength to rip my blouse";
and "I'm not halistening to ju no more; Ju're CRAZAY"
Just to name a couple.
With the closing credits, as did too, our play date, he drove me back to my car where we parted our ways, and left with only fond memories of the day. So Air, to you I say Thank You for my EAGLE POWERS! NAAAAAACHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
We met around 4 at the Colossus Theater to start our day of activities. We went in to check out when the movie started so we knew how much time we had for our activities. Our first stop was at IKEA or as I refer to it, DO IT YOUR DAMN SELF store. All we had to pick up was a pepper grinder, and it seemed quiet easy of a task and it was. However there was a few things we witnessed during our visit. The first being the fatty's eating their gross hot dogs while sitting on display furniture outside. Like I understand its nice out, I also understand that you may not want to eat in your car, but really putting your fat sweaty ass on the display patio furniture is like saying "You broke it, so you must buy it". Cuz really who wants those things after your ass sweat has lacquered the wood? So we are inside the store and not once, not twice, but three times were we totally just cut off by other customers. This only being only a few seconds into the store. But we bit our tongues and continued with our shopping. We found what we were looking for and brought it to our nice teenage cashier. It was here that made us both laugh cuz I understand that IKEA is keen on doing it yourself but the way our transaction went through seemed a little awkward. See, our cashier scanned the grinder, she took aaron's cash but it was the next step she fell short on. After the receipt printed she grabbed the grinder, looked at us oddly and then strangly places the item on another counter right beside the bags. As she starts with the next customer, we look at each other slightly caught off guard on what was just witnessed, grab a bag for ourselves and leave. You see, neither of us quite knew about that stage of checking out but whatever, we laughed about it and carried on.
Our next stop was Dave and Busters. If you've never been to one before it's basically a Chuck E. Cheese for big kids but still the same fun toys. We play a couple of games until we come across a shooting game. Ghost Squad is the name, and your given these big ass machine guns to play with. Oh but that wasn't the only fun to be had with this game. As we were selecting our character I noticed I could change my outfit. I pick something I find quite fun. Aaron noticing my funny character looks for one himself. Our results are of this:
Although you can't get a good idea of the true humour that we experienced the game cinematics looked like if you took this:
and mixed it to each one of these:
This and adding the fact that we shot hostages and our own men and we were rolling.

Anyone up for another round of JACKASS?!
So during my daily round of surfing today, I noticed a very small link. All it said was "Jackass: Number two trailer". So being a relative fan of the show, I check it out. And you guessed it...SEQUEL!!! Now I know this show is moronic and probably makes me much more dumber for watching it but I love to see people hurt themself. Mainly cuz its not me or someone I know. Anywho. If you want to see the trailer here's the link.

Things are HEATING UP at Blockbuster.
I'm standing there. Wiping the sweat off my brow with the sleeve of my shirt. It's 32 degrees. Couldn't ask for nicer weather. Problem is, I'm friggen inside. Worse yet, I'm at friggen work. To top it off, it's only friggen 26 degrees outside. That's right, I'm at Blockbuster and it's an unexaggerated 32 degrees inside the building. Here's a little back story. A few weeks ago our A/C crapped out on us and was repaired a day or so later. So I already experienced one shift of clothes sticking to my slightly moist skin. Temperature weren't too bad that time, only 25/26 degrees. Week later, A/C craps out again, this time it's the whole damn system. I called instantly to get some repair guy there. "Well dispatch someone right away" they say. The day rolls on and I get this phone call at 4, "Um, our guy got caught up at the last job so he won't make it until after hours. That will cost more, so is first thing tomorrow okay?" I said okay, cuz what the hell did I care, my shift was ending and I wasn't in for two days. Anywho, it gets repaired again but not until I roasted during that shift as well. But this time I was a little smarter, opened up the door, set up some fans and had a nice little air flow. Record temp that shift 27. So then came this weekend. Let's count the many crap things about Saturday's shift. 1. World Cup soccer (futball, to true fanatics). This is EXTREMELY popular in the GTA, therefore meaning less customers. 2. Game six of Stanley Cup playoffs. Edmonton is involved. Edmonton is a Canadian team. It's hockey. It's the finals. Therefore, less customers. 3. It's extremely nice outside and it's saturday. If you are not a fan of soccer or hockey then you sure as hell weren't inside watching movies on a night like this one. Therefore, less customers. (If you haven't guessed yet, I'm implying that the store was as dead as Don Johnson's career. That's right! Take that Don Johnson! 4. DVD player wasn't working so therefore, no trailer tape, no movies, no music, no anything. Just silence. 5. The A/C was busted again. This was reason it was 30 degrees in the store. And finally 6. I had the worst case of swack, swalls and swass I have ever experienced in my life. I was walking all bull legged, like I had been ridin' buckin' broncos for hours. Picture this if you may. Rubbing your nut sack over some inverted duct tape, back and forth in a fluid motion. That's how sticky sweaty I was in the crotch region, thus causing my funny walk. Oh and I know you all wanted to know all of that. But I'm getting off topic. Ya so it was warm. Since I closed the store that night, I kept the fans on all night to try and move the air around and possible cool down the store for my Sunday opening shift. I get to work and low and behold it's kinda cool in there. I look at the thermostat, it reads 22 degrees. I'm happy but I know as the day gets warmer, so will the store. So I open up the door to let the cool morning air in to bring the temp down a little more inside. I also kept all the lights off for most of the day . But that soon became pointless cuz as the noon sun rose, so did the temperature. It climbed and climbed and by 2 it was 29 in the store, this is when I start calling head office people cuz I, nor the rest of the staff was going to want to work in this heat again. All I got were voicemails and no return phone calls. By 4 it was 32, our chocolate products were only keeping there shape cuz the packages made it so. But they were clearly mush inside. My shift ended at 5 but I was still making calls to get the situation resolved. Needless to say, I left without getting a response. As I write this it now dons on me, I work tomorrow as well. The A/C will still not be fixed and they are calling for another hot day. Looks like my the sweat glands in my ass are going to get another work out. I can't wait!

Upload pictures? Yes. Upload audio? No.
As I am try to find my footing on this whole blogging thing, I wanted to post a couple of mp3 files. One song in particular for Joe, Joe and Greg. It is a song about blubber, Eskimos, buffonts, and mukluks just to name a few. However, I was unable to do that. One reason being that I couldn't just upload the file like I could a photo. You'd think that it would be just as simple. But no, the only way I found to do such a thing was to post a link to a website that played the song on it. So I managed to find it but it will be posted as a link. So here it is, I hope you guys enjoy.
Words
Oh and here's another song that I think is fun. It's System of a Down singing the Zelda theme song. I also posted it under my profile.

Oh computer problems ****Updated****
K, so I'm using my computer and then "click" my computer shuts down abruptly. I thought maybe it was just a fluke so I try turning it on again. It doesn't even get fully loaded again and it crashes once more. So I check online for some answers and because my computer is slightly over a year old and my warranty is expired, the site won't do anything for me. I have to pay atleast 50 bucks to get some sort of extra coverage. I say screw that. I find a 1-800 number and call. I'm on hold for about ten minutes and then when I get through to someone the guy says that he can't do much unless I want to purchase the extra coverage. Again, I think I'm screwed. But he asks what the problem is. I tell him and he makes a couple of suggestions. Well, needless to say it didn't fix the problem. So I ask a few other people if they have any suggestions. I try a few things and still nothing. So it looks like I might have to get some repairs done to it. Good thing is, is that there is a Mac Store over at the Yorkdale mall (20 min drive) which I believe does some repairs. But oh yeah, that means more money. Yay Hoo!!! I really hope its an easy fix cuz I hate not having my computer. Oh and the possible problem/repairs I think it may be: either a burned out fan, or a faulty power supply. I'm leaning more on the power supply issue only cuz the computer isn't on for very long before it crashes. Any one got any ideas, please forward them on to me. I'll keep you up to date as the story unfolds.
***Update**
So it turns out that it's my Flux Capacitor that's acting up. My computer is trying to go back in time but it can't get up to 88mph to do so, nor did it have the 1.21 jigowatts of power. Okay, so we all know that's not true and I'm a huge loser for even writing that, however, I did find out that my computer was possibly eligible for free repairs. Here's how that happened, as I was looking for answers online, I posted a question on the Apple discussion board. A guy wrote back that I might be eligible for the "iMac G5 Repair Extension Program for Video and Power Issues". I looked into it. My computer had to be purchases between certain dates, it was. It had to fall between certain serial numbers, it did. It had to show symptoms of Scrambled/distorted or no video, well that wasn't me. Or it had a no power issue. OOOO THAT'S ME!! Those were the requirements, so things were looking good. So this past Tues, I drove to the Yorkdale Mall, and you'd think that the Mall Directory would help finding the store a little easier but since there was construction in the mall, I thought wrong. After 15 twenty minutes of detours (and unable to find another directory) I find the place. So I'm standing and waiting to talk to a techie for a half hour, not a big deal I had no where to go. But people that came in after me were getting served, which didn't make sense since you had to sign up for service on a computer that was there, which I did. Anywho, I get my turn and I tell the guy was is happening and after I mentioned power supply, he basically phased me out. He proceed to open my computer, "Yep, that's it all right" and starts typing into his computer. Another half hour of me just sitting there, him not asking me questions or repairing my computer, just typing on his computer. He then says "We're going to change the logic board too, we have parts in stock for that but not the power supply, so it may take up to a week. Is that okay?" I said sure cuz what am I going to do otherwise, sprinkle fairy dust on it and have it magically work again to save time. Anywho, so he has me sign a work authorization sheet and I'm on my way. The next morning I get a phone call at 9am, "Hey it's Sean from Apple, your computer is ready" I'm thinking a week my ass. So now I have to drive my ass back there less than 24 hours after dropping it off. When I get there I asked if they got some parts in this morning and no one gave me a straight answer, like almost to say they came in right after I left yesterday. Anyways, I'm just in and out this time. I get home and it works. I looked at my receipt, $1196 in parts and labour! That's basically the price of a new system. However, since I qualified for that repair program, it didn't cost me one red cent. So needless to say, I was a happy happy fellow. That's my story. Now bugger off :)

Daily Surf findings 05/06/06
On a daily basis, I stumble across funny and/or cool things. Here are some of my daily findings:
1. If you didn't know already, Hollywood is making a live action version of Transformers. I was and still am very excited to hear that. Rumour has it that Speilberg is executive producing and you know that Speilberg goes all out in all his projects. Also Michael Bay is set to direct and he did Bad Boys, Armeggedon and other movies with intense action sequences. So, you can pretty much count on a big budget, big explosions kind of movie. And it doesn't look like they are being cheap either. Here are a few pics of the cars they plan to use. http://www.leftlanenews.com/2006/05/31/new-chevy-camaro-to-star-transformers-movie Now it seems that I may have a couple of complaints already and that being OPTIMUS PRIME IS GOING TO BE A FIRE TRUCK?! WTF?! Cuz finding a transport is that hard?! And Bumblebee is going to be a camaro? If I do recall he was a VW Beetle. So a camaro is close enough I guess?! Anywho....
2. Have you heard the new RHCP song "Dani California"? Did you notice that it sounds a lot like the Tom Petty Song "Last Dance with Mary Jane"? Well this guy did. Don't believe it, check it out. http://www.jared-morris.com/blog/petty.mp3 All I have to say is....Cool!
3. What the hell is this guy thinking? Actually I don't care, I just want to see the video of the failed mess, if and when he attempts this. http://www.uberreview.com/2006/06/worlds-largest-crossbow.htm If he succeeds, all the power to him. If he doesn't, I will be the guy laughing til there are tears.
4. Not that it is much to look at but here are some pics from the new spiderman movie. http://www.filmwad.com/spider-man-3-353-p.html You can't see it very well, but if you look close enough you can see a bit of the black spiderman suit. Can't wait to see more of this movie.
Anywho that's all I've got for now.

X-men: the last stand (or is it?!)
Just went and saw X-men 3 and it was excellent! However, I do have many problems with it. First of all, you could so tell that Bryan Singer (director of the first two) didn't direct this one. The pace was too fast, the visuals weren't as good and there was only one or two spots where I really liked the cinematography. Second, character usage and development. There was an addition of new characters in this one but if you didn't know them from the comics, etc., then you wouldn't really know who they were. Not only that, but they barely had a role or point to the movie. Colossus had maybe 4 lines in the movie, wasn't russian (like he's supposed to be) and had no significant role to the movie. Multiple Man was pointless as well. Then there's the characters we already know, some of them have no point being in the movie either. Rogue, barely in the movie, has no real significance to anything, why bother with her. Mystique, after the first 15 minutes it was like they couldn't figure what else to do with her. Don't get me wrong this movie was entertaining, definitely a good follow up to the last two but it just seemed to cram to much for no reason. OH, and if you haven't seen it yet and are planning to go, stay til after the credits. There is a nice little easter egg. It's only about 10 seconds long but it's worth it. If you have seen it and didn't see the easter egg, message me and i'll tell you about it. Anywho that's my review on that.
